With 2008 Financial crisis, the world business form is changing sharply.
Few people dare import a large quanity anymore. Although it is getting better recent 2 years, the economy is still not fully recovered.
The market for trade among companies, which is often called the business-to-business market, or just the B2B market, is going through a change. The trend is towards less volume, less professionalism, more emotional and less economic/rational reasons for making a decision to buy. At the same time, the business-to-consumer market, called the B2C market, gets inspiration from the B2B market by becoming more process oriented: Consumers want the production process to take ecology and ethics into account. This results in a new market picture - business-to-society, called B2S - which unites B2B and B2C. Future companies are going to orient themselves towards the business-to-society market. The B2S perspective supports the development in the direction of a so-called stakeholder focus, i. e., emphasising all partners in the company.
The traditional division of markets into respectively B2B and B2C markets belong to the past. Naturally, in the future, there are also going to be differences between the two markets but the differences are going to be of less importance. The future, however, is to be found in the mixture and correlation of the B2B and B2C markets. The result of this mixture, we have chosen to call the business-to-society market - or the B2S market - since, to a high degree, a number of society parameters are part of this market, e. g., environment, business ethics, etc. more than just the traditional factors of maximising, respectively, "benefit/experience" and "profit" See also figure.
Today, a lot of people like to wholesale small quantity from some reliable China suppliers say odgate, aliexpress, they take small volume back and test market. They will not take big risk without confirming what the market need and purchase bulk when they see the test is successful.
A long term operation plan is feasible, the future belongs to those who take the market as the guidance of the seller
